Don't do this. Don't put your popponent on a single hand. Put him on a probable range of hands. There are several hands that will act the same way. Put yourself in villan's shoes. Suppose you had AA. Would you do anything different? What about QQ? AK?

It is critical that you get out of the habit of putting your opponents on a single hand. Why?

Becasue you nearly folded becasue of what you put your opponent on. Folding the river for one bet would have been a disaster. A disaster.
